The mathematical model for the incompressible two-dimensional stagnation flow of aMaxwell fluid towards a shrinking sheet is proposed. The developed equations are used to discuss theproblem of being two dimensional in the region of stagnation point over a shrinking sheet. The nonlinear partialdifferential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by first-taking boundary-layerapproximations into account and then using the similarity transformations. The obtained equations arethen solved by using a successive linearisation method. The influence of the pertinent fluid parameterson the velocity is discussed through the help of graphs.
